Figure 4 Fourth Round completed; Crab stitch Finish

There are two different ways you can finish the edge using a sc stitch working one

sc on the top of each Puff st and two sc on each ch 2 space. This is the easiest way

which is basically working a sc crochet backwards. Click here for a video tutorial.
